REMPLI D4.4 - NMS Implementation
Ref: HURRAY-TR-030306 Publication Date: 29, Mar, 2005Abstract:
Within the scope of the REMPLI Project, a SFN Network Management System is developed. But the SFN is
a new technology and never tested outside of laboratory. If the field trail is based only on SFN technology
the risk is too high. Therefore we decided to develop in parallel a classical routing based network
management system based on the proofed concept of (in the following this is called DLC-100 2C
NMS). Both systems should be orientated towards the same software architecture. It should be reached that
both systems (SFN NMS, DLC-100 2C NMS) have the same tasks like take-over data of the application, data
segmentation and data composition, high priority transfer of the OFDM blocks to the DSP etc., which are
realised in common modules, that are integrated in the respective software. They will be extended, by
additional project-dependent functions, on demand. On the other hand, the NMS specific tasks will be
programmed in separate modules.
The basic idea is to be able to change the NMS-specific modules within the software-architecture depending
on the project. Additionally, this allows the direct performance comparison between the DLC-100 2C NMS
and the SFN NMS. The present document represents a specification and description of a Network
Management System (DLC-100 2C NMS) based on iAd products. It defines and specifies the concept, the
tasks of the components and their interaction. This document contains four main parts: The first one gives a
general overview about the concepts, HW- and SW-architecture and explains the main components. The
second part gives more detailed information about the Logon / Logoff concept. The part three describes
detailed the SW structure of the lower layers of NMS, written separately from the master’s and from the
slave’s view, and the structure of the higher layer. The part four contains informations about the simulation
of the NMS.
